Should characters look straight into the camera?

Take this photo as an example:

Personally, I think this photo will be better if the father pays attention to the child instead of looking directly at the camera, or in other directions, or has interactive eyes or movements with the child. People who look directly at the camera will directly attract the viewer to people's eyes, and then pay attention to people's appearance and expression, rather than paying more attention to the relationship between picture elements, which is not conducive to expressing the relationship between people, as well as the relationship between people and equipment and the environment.

In other words, it is not conducive to expressing "father-son affection". In addition, "father-son relationship" is a story scene at the scene. If you look directly into the camera, the scene will be disturbed and destroyed by the photographer.
